Read these paragraphs from the excerpt. In the first place, there must be the dramatic poet. Dramatic
poetry is the subtlest, profoundest, the most intellectual, the
most passionate and artistic of all. Then the stage must be
prepared, and there is work for the architect, the painter and
sculptor. Then the actors appear, and they must be gifted with
imagination, with a high order of intelligence; they must have
sympathies quick and deep, natures capable of the greatest
emotion, dominated by passion. They must have impressive
presence, and all that is manly should meet and unite in the
actor, all that is womanly, tender, intense and admirable should
be lavishly bestowed on the actress. In addition to all this, actors
should have the art of being natural.
Let me explain what I mean by being natural. When I say that an
actor is natural, I mean that he appears to act in accordance
with his ideal, in accordance with his nature, and that he is not
an imitator or a copyist—that he is not made up of shreds and
patches taken from others, but that all he does flows from
interior fountains and is consistent with his own nature, all
having in a marked degree the highest characteristics of the
man. That is what I mean by being natural.
